Hiya guys! Wikipedia is my favorite site on the internet, and I can confidently call it "the internet at its best." I've been active on Wikipedia pretty much since I found out about it on July 7, 2004. As a Wikipedian, I generally contribute by making minor edits to articles that I read or are on my watchlist, but occasionally I sit down and contribute something large. You can find my contributions to Wikipedia here (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&target=Pie4all88). Note that I am not an sysop of Wikipedia or anything of the sort.
I'd say that after dreaming about editing a page and buying a Wikipedia shirt, I'm officially a Wikipediaholic. :)
I took the automated Are You a Wikipediaholic (http://people.ucsc.edu/~merphant/wikitest.html) test and seriously got 100 as my score O_o Therefore, I'm officially addicted to Wikipedia, but just barely. I don't know how relevant that score is though; I've never been reliable and unbiased while taking those kinds of tests :)
I recently started the Gaming Collaboration of the week, which is an offshoot of Wikipedia's Collaboration of the week, that focuses on improving the quality of Wikipedia's computer and video-game related articles. Please stop on by that page if you're interested in helping out.
Well, without further ado, here are some facts about me:
